Dole, worried about her own seat, quickly cuts Stevens ties

WASHINGTON — Hours after Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted on Tuesday, his GOP colleague Sen. Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina sent his money to charity.

Dole donated $10,000 from her campaign to the Society of St. Andrew, a Christian anti-hunger organization, to equal the cash received this cycle from Stevens' political action committee.

The move came one day after Dole's spokeswoman confirmed that she would not attend her party's national convention in September so that she could spend meeting with contituents in North Carolina.

Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with seven counts of failing to disclose more than $250,000 worth of gifts to businessmen currying his favor on federal projects.
